    摘要: A disinfection cap or device for disinfecting medical connectors. The cap includes a visual indicator that changes color after sufficient scrubbing effort and time have been expended by a clinician to disinfect the medical device, giving positive visual feedback to the treating clinician. An external housing of the cap includes a disinfection medium, such as a disinfectant sponge that is coupled to a rotating collar. The housing is oriented so that the sponge contacts the medical device to be cleaned. Collar rotation in turn rotates the disinfectant sponge against the VAD, providing scrubbing action. A visualization chamber within the cap contains two isolated fluids of distinct colors. As the collar is rotated it mixes the two isolated fluids, changing color of the resultant mixture. When the visualization chamber shows the new, mixed third color, the medical device is disinfected.

    摘要: A disinfecting assembly for a prefilled flushing syringe. The disinfecting assembly includes a scrubbing cap and a disinfecting cap. The scrubbing cap includes a chamber adapted to receive a needle-free connector of an intravenous (IV) catheter. A scrubber and a disinfectant are contained within the chamber of the scrubbing cap. The disinfecting cap includes a chamber adapted to receive the needle-free connector of the IV catheter. A compressible sponge and disinfectant are contained within the chamber. The disinfecting cap is removably connected to the scrubbing cap. A tip cap, adapted to connect to and cover a syringe tip of the syringe, extends from one of the disinfecting cap and the scrubbing cap or a housing connecting the disinfecting cap and the scrubbing cap. Also, a prefilled flushing syringe including the disinfecting assembly and a method of using the prefilled flushing syringe to disinfect a needle-free connector and catheter.

    摘要: A cap configured to engage connectors of different types includes a housing having a an open first end, a second end, a sidewall extending between the first end and the second end, and an opening extending through the sidewall. The cap further includes a flexible sleeve disposed in the housing having a first end, a second end, and a sleeve sidewall extending between the first end and the second end. The cap further includes: a lock connected to the housing configured to move through the opening of the housing to press against the sleeve sidewall, which causes the sleeve sidewall to directly or indirectly press against a portion of the connector to secure the connector in the housing; and an absorbent member disposed in the flexible sleeve configured to contain a cleaning solution for cleaning and/or disinfecting portions of the connector engaged to the cap.

    摘要: This invention is an apparatus for physically enclosing access ports on intravenous (IV) tubing to defend against bacterial contamination. In one configuration, the invention encapsulates an IV manifold and contains a sliding door mechanism to allow access to the ports. In another configuration, the invention covers an individual access port and contains a flip-top cap to allow access to the port. In either configuration, a chemical solution can optionally be included on either the cushioned strip or the cushioned disc to provide additional bacterial protection to the ports.
